Your Curriculum Vitea, the story of your life, is a document aimed at one purpose only.... to get you a job. That means you have to create a document that will sell yourself to a future employer. Here are some hints to help make it a good one.​

Keep it clear and concise.

Recruiters check it over for a mere 6 seconds! They scan only a few parts, that’s if they read it at all, before they decide to keep or trash it. We take longer than that to gargle in the morning.It’s up to you to craft a resume that grabs that is an attention-grabber – in an appropriate way. And anything longer than 2 pages is TOO LONG!

Use an appropriate email

Email is the preferred form of communication in today's workplace, so there's no excuse for you not to have an appropriate email address. Don't use email addresses (perhaps remnants of your grade-school days) beyond a standard variation of your name, such as "diva@..." or "babygirl@...,"

Stand out from the crowd

​Consider an alternative format that’s appropriate for the position. For example, if the job is for an event planning company, you could design the resume to look like an invitation to an event. That gives you the chance to show the hiring manager how you can actually apply your skills in the job.

Warning!! Don't make it too cluttered or gimmicky that will detract from your goal.
